Gig From Hell

Your manager said it would be easy money.

What they didn’t say was you’d be headlining the end of the world.

Oct. 31, 1989. Your manager booked you a good paying gig at the ancient manor on the hill. Unbeknownst to your manager, you’ve been hired by THE CHILDREN OF THE CREEPING DEATH. They’re performing a ritual that will open a portal and let the OLD ONES into our world. The cultists needed your music to start the ritual; now they need your blood to finish it.

Only the METAL GODS can save you now. Use the RELICS OF DOOM and DREAD POWERS they’ve bestowed on you to survive long enough to stop the ritual. 

GIG FROM HELL is a rules-light, one-page TTRPG of doom, metal, and mayhem.  All you need is two 6-sided dice, some paper, and the set list (available on YouTube or you can build your own).
